In the supply chain excellence awards

The 20th Anniversary of the Supply Chain Excellence awards saw industry leaders join to celebrate outstanding achievements in the sector.

FPS was highly commended in the Logistics and Distribution category, narrowly missing out on the top spot to 17 Port Maritime Regiment RLC. In the Warehouse Initiative category, the company placed in the top 6 contenders, alongside VE Commercial Vehicles and Aldi with Crown Lift Trucks.

FPS has full ownership over the logistics process from sourcing and managing product ranges to delivering to customers. This approach sees the company’s 1st pick availability continue to exceed 97%, despite growth on more than 10,000 part numbers year-on-year.

In the last year, FPS made major improvements to their distribution infrastructure, with the introduction of 3 new mega trailers, VW Crafter vans and bespoke electric Moffetts improving delivery

capacity and efficiency for the business. This is supported by the company’s unparalleled driver infringement performance which is consistently better than the national average.

These are just some of the initiatives which set FPS apart in the Logistics and Distribution category.

Organised by Logistics & Supply Chain magazine, the awards celebrate companies at the forefront of innovations in supply chain and logistics, regardless of the sector, size or age of the organisation. MAN Truck and Bus was awarded the overall prize, beating off competition from Shell, Argos (with Llamasoft) and Tesco Distribution.

FPS will continue to drive innovation in logistics, distribution and warehousing initiatives to maintain the industry-leading service it provides to customers.
